BUTTER.Mllk FOR HOGS.
How to Feed 1t so rs to Provide the
Greatest Amount of Nutrition.

now TO reed 1t so as to Provide the
Greatest Amount Of Nutrition.
Buttermilk is a highly nitrogenous
food containing about one part of nitro
gen to two of carbon. The proportion
of nitrogen is at least twice as great as il
need be, and as it should be to be profit
able-that is, to feed without material
waste. Corn-meal, on the other hand,
is highly carbonaceous, containing
eight or nine parts of carbon TO one OF
nitrogen. 1t is at least twice as car
bonaceous as it should be, just as the
butter-milk is twice too nitrogenous.
Now due mixture of both these two
foods will probaly balance the ration
and secure the greatest economy, both
in preventing waste and in providing
the greatest amount of nutrition. In
feeding pigs, to begin with, Prof
Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experimental Station. recommends
one pound Of meal To each gallon
of butter-milk. This leaves the ration
still strong in the nitrogenous
tltlhtll h'''SSdiN W l'iplhot' Ei'"'h'
As the pigs advance in size, and fat
rather than growth and muscle is de-
sired, more cornmeal may be added.
This will make the food more carbona-
ceous and cause. the hogs to lay on
more fat. In some experiments made
At the Massachusetts Agricultural En-
pertinent Station, counting corn meal
worth s2S ton and buttcrmilk at l6
cents per 100 pounds, it was found that
pound Of pork cost 4.6 cents. At
first, u ounces of corn meal were
added to each gallon of buttcrmilk, on
another occasion, and the quantity OF
meal gradually increased, closing with
81 pounds of cornmeal and three gal.
Ions t buttermilk to each hog. Reck-
oning on the same basis, the cost of a
pound of pork was 5.73 cents. This
was in the winter, the difference in the
season accounting for most of the differ
encc in cost. In the first ease il took
2.4'pounds of dry matter to make

Why She Wants to Marry.

Constance is rery young, but she is
also better worth quoting than most
grown people. Her envy was some

the playmate thereby had the advan-
tage of her; SO she remarked, very
complacently, to her little friends
